Glass is absolutely an amorphous solid, and over time glass windows will start to deform. You can see it in some of the older buildings in Europe that are hundreds of years old.
That's not true, those old windows have always been deformed in that way because people back then weren't good at making glass, but their shake hasn't changed.
And they are usually thicker at the bottom because people were smart enough to realize there's less risk of breakage if the weight doesn't rest on the thinner end.
But there are some cases were the thicker part is up.
It is an amorphous solid instead of a liquid, like the picture claims.
